meanwhile all of this means a lot to the new young leader of north korea, kim jong-un. it is aimed to mark the first anniversary of the death of his father, the former leader of the country, kim jong-il. it was supposed to mark a year to show that the impoverished nation is on its way to be strong and prosperous. we see pongyang magging the message more than it usually does both for the domestic and international audience. my contacts are saying they will call this a success whatever happens. secretary of state hillary clinton here in europe for a nato meeting is also managing her message pretty closely too. she is saying that the u.s. is concerned and she is telling north korea to not even consider this launch. the reason from the u.s. standpoint again, if this is successful, this is the long range intercontinental ballistic missile. it could have a range of 6,000 miles plus. that could put whatever it is shooting up there in range of los angeles. and just breaking news here, gregg, from nato itself. that organization is saying that it has grave concerns about this act

kim jong un wanted a real success to mark his first year in office. jon: by launching this missile does he get that credibility with the military this he's been looking for? >> i think that he does. there's been a lot of purges of senior military officers, about four or five months ago creating discontent among the senior staff. this probably will help him especially if they have the nuclear test which they just referred to. this is going to be a series of provocations that we'll have to endure unless we do something, and we do have the ability to do something. jon: they are the most sanctioned nation on earth as james was just mentioning. do we have any leverage at all. >> of course we have. in 2005 the bush administration imposed financial sanctions that crippled north korea. we need to interdict north korean shipping because they are going to sell this missile to iran. an embargo is not out of the question. they are a year, maybe 18 months from being able to wipe out an american city at will. we don't have a missile defense system that is reliable
